I adore the vignettes in your kitchen and your lovely white cabinets. I so wish my cabinets were white. I do at least have space to place stuff above them as you've done. I used to do vignettes, but now spread mine out. Funny how we move in and out with our decor inspirations, isn't it? If I can get up there, I'll do a photo to post one of these days. xoxoBetty Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475038702140830260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399639578758058574.post-38505033713498962472007-07-16T01:24:00.000-05:002007-07-16T01:24:00.000-05:00Just a gorgeous kitchen dear Rhoda!

I am like you in the 50 generation but you are much younger heheh<BR/><BR/>still it is nice to find some women in our age range with blogs as well.<BR/><BR/>we had a house fire three years ago and am still redoing the 'constuction contractor's idea of a great home. He hated the colors we used in out rooms but white and off white are NOT wall colors for me ever.<BR/><BR/>I insisted an open area above the cabinets even though they are not very tall. the outerwalls stayed put and so the ceilings were put back to original. that is fine with me.<BR/><BR/>i love all your creativity inside and out.<BR/>let's visit sometime!!<BR/>catieCatieAnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09433305330968854290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399639578758058574.post-47783085368139395242007-07-15T15:01:00.000-05:002007-07-15T15:01:00.000-05:00Oh, I just loved seeing these photos.

I'm so...Thank you all for stopping by this Friday! I'm so happy to hear your comments. Several of you asked about my kitchen counters. Well, they were done by the previous owner & while I love the tumbled marble backsplash that he did, I'm not so happy with it on the countertops. I'd love to replace it with something smooth (hopefully granite of some form) one of these days. The texture is just too rough & pitted to work well for a countertop. But, It looks pretty for now. I would not recommend tumbled marble for countertops, too much grout to deal with also. Nothing will happen anytime soon though, so they will be staying as is for awhile.<BR/><BR/>Hope y'all have a great weekend!<BR/><BR/>RhodaRhoda @ Southern Hospitalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16741881774379561710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399639578758058574.post-1097766780101636302007-07-13T15:05:00.000-05:002007-07-13T15:05:00.000-05:00Very nice......now I wish I had left the tops open...Very nice......now I wish I had left the tops open when we put in our new cabinets....but I so love my crown molding and longer cabinets.<BR/><BR/>And nice job with the light fixture.<BR/><BR/>Happy hunting over the week-end.<BR/><BR/>Kathy =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
